Together, we will create new solutions for clients that integrates data, analytics, program management and world-class technology solutions. We are excited to welcome Amplify to the Sparq family.”

Founded in 2017, Amplify has developed trust and long-term partnerships with some of the U.S.’s largest companies and most respected brands. The company was built on a foundation of transparency and accountability, which has helped to attract some of the country’s top data engineers and technology professionals to work at Amplify.

“Amplify Consulting Partners was created with the vision of changing the consulting industry,” said Luke Newman, Managing Partner at Amplify Consulting Partners. “We value transparency and accountability in our business and pride ourselves on empowering our teams to deliver results for our clients. Through this, we have built a data focused business providing solutions that drive long-term impact at scale.
